DataManager Daily Processing (CAKSLOAD)

The DataManager load program, CAKSLOAD, uses committed definitions from the IRD and ORD tables to process data files from a variety of sources. CAKSLOAD generates one composite data file that can be used by other PMA applications. An optional user exit is also provided for your convenience (see The User Exit for CAKSLOAD for details).

This process references the CAIKSPAR file as well as specific CAKSLOAD control statements. CAKSLOAD control statements define:

• what input files are to be used
• what ORD names are to be selected from the input file(s) for processing and written to the output data file
• what error handling procedures to follow

If any invalid records are encountered during this process, certain control statements determine whether these errors are written to a file. Errors written to disk can be corrected and recycled as input to the next CAKSLOAD run.

This discussion of the CAKSLOAD program is divided into several sections:

• control statements for CAKSLOAD (required and optional)
• processing requirements
• processing recommendations
• preparation overview
• the JCL for running CAKSLOAD
• the CAKSLOAD user exit
• CAKSLOAD output
